Syria Still Screwing with Lebanon Creates Havoc…….

Yesterday Finland’s flagship newspaper (Helsingin Sanomat) published an op-ed –authored by four Scandinavian ex-foreign ministers– extolling the virtues of getting the Syrians to the negotiating table, while at the same time Syria was busy causing more havoc inside Lebanon. The Lebanese army has been for the past two days exchanging fire with the Fatah al-Islam terrorist group, which is suspected of having ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network.

According to Lebanese journalist and human rights activist, Elias Bejjani,:

The rulers in Damascus had brought in its mercenary fighters several months ago to the Palestinian Camps in Lebanon with the objective of stirring strife, creating an anarchy situation, obstructing the creation of the International Tribunal and, most importantly, prevent the rise of a strong self-reliant Lebanese State and institutions that would spread its control over every inch of Lebanese soil and disarm the militias and impose the rule of law.

Now mirror that “inconvenient truth” along side the fantastic assertion made by the ex-diplo “quartet” who wrote:

Regardless of Syrian appearances, the definitive factor is nonetheless its desire to sit at the same negotiation table. Syrian commitment could mean that the danger of a new conflict between Hezbollah and Israel would decrease, that Hamas would become more moderate and send a message to Iran that it also should reevaluate its politics again.”

Syrian appearances are more than obvious to people who are both grounded in rational thinking and understand the mentality that drives the Arab/Muslim regimes in the region. Simply put, Syria refuses to let go of its grip on Lebanon, and regardless of the many “well intended” op-eds by failed diplomats who repeatedly refuse to see the difference between democratically elected states and a dictatorships, won’t change that fact. *L* KGS

Update: Michael Totten has more it here.

Tundraman adds his input concerning the joint Scandi-exdiplo op-ed: I must say that it is a kind of a masterpiece: in the name of “peace” (and wrapping it nicely in those terms) it is, in fact, suggesting that EU lifts its economic embargo on Hamas, without preconditions. One has to read the article carefully in order to detect this message, but if this influential group of ex-ministers is doing its best to lobby for this end, the PA really has powerful allies..

Al states: Are they all *former* foreign ministers because they’re idiots?

PRICELESS.

The Tundra Tabloids’ good friend Solomon writes the following under the title, “The Four Nordic Stooges” ….nyuk, nyuk nyuk….:

I realize daylight comes in short gulps over the long Scandinavian winter, and those folks in the northlands may yet be waking from their long naps, but really, does it take four ex-Foreign Minsters to write this:

…Regardless of Syrian appearances, the definitive factor is nonetheless its desire to sit at the same negotiation table. Syrian commitment could mean that the danger of a new conflict between Hezbollah and Israel would decrease, that Hamas would become more moderate and send a message to Iran that it also should reevaluate its politics again…

Puh-lease. Yes, I’m sure Hamas is poised to become more “moderate” at any moment…and who knows how much worse Iran’s politics would be should they sit and “reevaluate” them further. Tundra Tabloids has the story of a silly op-ed by the former government high officials here, and here. The vikings are dead.

Cause I am a Finn – unfortunately – I would like to say some words about Pär Stenbäck: null, zero, nil, nought, nolla. He really is something closer(er) to nothing with his Swedish speaking nothing company that is (<-empty space). There is no more words to describe I loathe those rodents who are round zero. Born in the rich family, done nothing, never, nothing, zero, nil... Well, the world is (still) free so they null, nil, zero, nothing, 0… can have they say – samma på svenska – Kan Pär knulla nolla? – Ari –

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
